Do you have any odd fears? I have a few! One of my stranger ones is something called Trypophobia, or the fear of clusters of holes! The American Psychiatric Association doesn't officially recognize this as a phobia, and it doesn't truly cause me to suffer in any way, but there is no doubt when I look at things like a lotus lily, I get an uncomfortable feeling within me. Fear has the ability to control us at times, and too often fear can keep us from fulfilling the great commandments of God. This week we talk about how we need to replace our fears of reaching out to our neighbors with trusting in God. When we can get past our fears, we can truly do great things for the Kingdom!
